Xara 3d Maker; Blender or Sketchup?

[browj2]

I'm also thinking to improve and polish my 2D design skill into 3D modeling. I searched on tools for that, Xara 3D Maker is one of cool tool that I found and interested to go with that.

Hi,

Xara 3D Maker is not a 3D modelling program. It makes extrusions of 2D objects, mainly text, and animates it.

In my opinion Sketchup is much easier to use than is Blender although Blender has a few pluses not found otherwise such as the ocean simulator.
